The Venezuelan national team secured a valuable draw (1-1) against Peru at the National Stadium in Lima, solidifying its fourth position in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and relegating Peru to the bottom of the South American competition standings.

Jefferson Savarino's goal in the 53rd minute leveled the score after Yoshimar Yotún's 17th-minute goal, allowing Vinotinto to accumulate 9 points and remain in the World Cup qualification zone.

Peru, on the other hand, displayed moments of good football in the first half but fell again into a series of errors in the second half, maintaining a low level that buried its hopes of ending the year outside the last place in the standings. They currently occupy the bottom spot with only 2 points in six matchdays.
